Void

Previously:

"Ignore him darling and it's nothing special, just that you beloved clan has been sent to the Never-ending Void" smirked Maximus.

The Yami's eyes froze in shock. His heart sunk deeply, and his breathing became faster. He slowly asked, "What… did… you… say?".

Present:

Silence.

The room itself became void of all sound.

Suddenly, giggling can be heard slowly gaining volume. Louder and louder, it became until it was unbearable.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY TRAITOROUS RAT" roared Yami. His roar engulfed the laughing and shocked the two of them.

"what else did I say except THERE'S NO MORE RYO CLAN FEFEFEFEFE. THEY ARE ALL IN THE VOID. THE ENDLESS VOID AND THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR THE LAST TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND YEARS. NOW WHO'S LAUGHING 'CAPTAIN'" Provoked Maximus.

"25… 25 thousand years ago?"

Cle now quietly watched as this scene unfolded hoping that Maximus would be done with this nonsense so they can go and leave this hell hole.

She proposed, "Darling, Let's go, this old man has some things to think about. I think you broke his fragile soul. Look at him, so disgusting and miserable. Let's go, okay?"

Before Maximus could respond. A menacing voice repeated, "Go?", the voice got louder, and the ground began to shake uncontrollably.

"You, You think you're going anywhere after saying something like that." Stated Yami, now oozing malicious aura from his body.

"What do you think you could do old man? Shout? Cry? Scream? You're powerless and you've been sealed by the heavenly chains. You can no longer use the Divine KI* that you were once famous for. I could kill you with ease." Stated Maximus, proudly.

"Do Try Maximus Ron-chemery. I promise you; it will be a Quick death for you instead." Replied Yami, now standing up for the first time in 70 thousand years.

He began to walk forward but suddenly the rusty, thick chains imbued with heavenly Ki sealing* prevented further advances.

"You old fool, you think you can kill me? You can't even make 5 steps with your conditions not to mention the seals on you. But I'll come to you instead".

Maximus walked towards Yami slowly and the floor started to quake violently under the immense pressure coming of Maximus.

A woman's body suddenly appeared in between the two in haste and said "Darling, forget what this trash said and let's lea-"

Before finishing the sentence, a blurry object teared through her neck.

Her head instantaneously rolled to the floor.

The head thought to itself, "why was the top of the cell getting further and further away".

As if instinctively knowing of that thought, the prisoner responded, "noisy wench, don't interfere, just watch from down there in your last moments.".

Traumatized by this scene, Maximus looked in horror at his lover's body standing in front of him headless and bloody.

Wondering what transpired in that milli-second of her talking, he looks at the prisoners' enormous cuffs shattered into tiny pieces beside him. Maximus then looked back towards the face of the prisoner and saw that the eyes of the prisoner were shining Gold.

The light released from the eyes of the prisoner was one that Maximus knew all too clearly and in distress, he attempted to leave the level within haste to avoid being next on the hit list of his former captain.

Approaching the massive door, Maximus thought to himself that he'd gotten away from the now power-restored prisoner but was distraught when a body abruptly warped in front of his path, now blocking his only exit.

"Where do you think you're running off to Young Maximus? Want to get away after provoking me and laughing at my clan's destruction? Want to rub the fact that you got together with that Wench in front of me?" questioned the prisoner.

"Master Yami, I was wrong I didn't mean to do any of those. Please do forg-" Maximus quickly shot a surprise attack towards Yami in the hopes of getting him while he's guard looked down.

"You never change you weasel." Stated Yami flicking back that attack with one finger and causing it to double its speed and attack force. The attack returned too fast for Maximus to dodge.

(Shot) It pierced through the left shoulder of Maximus and Maximus cried out in distress.

"PLEASE FORGIVE ME MASTER. I SHOULD HAVE NEVER FOUGHT AGAINST YOU OR SURPRISE ATTACKED YOU." Shouted Maximus in sorrow.

"Quiet down, I'll spare you if you tell me who did this to my family and Clansmen." Yami said, approaching Maximus slowly.

"IT WAS THE UNION. THE UNION AND THE KAMI CLAN ALONG WITH THE 49 OTHER NOBLE CLANS, THEY ALL ATTACK TOGETHER TO GET RID OF YOUR GRANDFATHER AND FATHER IN ONE FELL SWOOP BUT THEY COULDN'T KILL ANY SO THEY USED THE HEAVEN'S JUDGMENT: VOID ON THEM AND THE WHOLE OF THE EASTERN PART OF THE UNIVERSE WAS EMPTIED OUT." Maximus rambled on.

"The whole Eastern side? My god, these Evil Maniacs actually removed 9 trillion beings at a whim." Responded Yami in absolute rage.

"Who is the real Evil." Stated a loud voice.

"Who's the real Maniac" stated 3 more voices in unison.

"Seems like we've been too easy on you evil Ryo scum." Said a domineering voice.

Suddenly, 50 bodies with halos around their neck and an orange robe, layered with 2 large white stripes, each on one side of the middle zip, appeared from thin air. The lights from the halos illuminated their faces showing their old, wrinkly faces along with their noble looking gaze.

This made the suffering Maximus tremble with dread as he'd just placed the blame on them without realising that they'd been there watching.

"Well, if it isn't the light brigade" stated Yami, "I was just planning to look for you to collect your heads, but you so kindly brought it here".

"You haven't changed these last 89 millenniums, still the same old arrogant, hot tempered fool as always". Said the domineering voice that has yet to appear in person.

"Stop Hiding Akarama, wait, you still go by 'Supreme Ruler' don't you, arrogant bigshot wannabe". Commented Yami.

"Hurtful as always. Fine, You want to see me? Here you go since this'll be your last opportunity." Stated the Supreme Ruler.

Light engulfed the dark room, giving a sense of a warm, humid atmosphere to the hellish level. Sparks of stars' flames began to trickle down the from the top of the prison ceiling as 3 holy Halos appeared in tandem, each larger than the other until a shiny face appeared between the first and the second halo which were covering his neck and eyes, while the last and holiest sat on top of his head as a crown. the torso was next to appear as if being a second piece of a jigsaw set. Even more sparks fell as the body was being fully unveiled. The icterine coloured creature was in full show to everyone and in one breath, all 50, plus Maximus, fell on their knee for the Sovereign of the Universe.

His body was slim, tall, and dazzling to those who witnessed it. The toned arms and legs of this person can be seen through the golden robe he'd wore. His face handsome and well-structured and his eyes completely covered from his brow to the beginning of his nose with the second half. His hair short and glossy dark brown hair can be seen underneath the crown halo.

"You still looked too flashy as always you yellow looking creep" remarked Yami.

Akarama laughed and responded, "Well, whether you like my look or not does not matter any longer. You shall join your family in the Infinite Void soon".

Upon hearing this, all 50 Unions got up and surrounded Yami in less than a breath.

"Any Last Words?" asked the Sovereign as balls of dark energy formed in a thin circular line around Yami, connecting all the 50 individuals' balls to form a trap.

"Dao of Space."
